A new waste power station to have a 500m long (333,370 sq ft) ski slope on it’s roof! The energy produced will run the slope & feed electricity into the Danish grid.

For a country that is hardly known for it’s hilly nature, any chance at a bit of elevation is to be admired! The waste-to-energy plant would open in 2016.

Louth council have given it’s developers the green light to go ahead with the combined Leisure & Casino project, which will be located just off the M1 motorway, near to Dundalk.

The initial €100m stage of the project, which includes the snow facility, is expected to begin construction in early 2012 up and be running by November. The remainder, including the water and leisure park is slated to open by Easter the following year. The entire project will eventually include a 100 bed hotel, concert arena, surf experience, water leisure dome, 80,000sq ft leisure complex (including a cinema, bowling alley, children’s zone, shops, bars and restaurants. However this is not yet a done deal as, Director of the developers, Sam Curran, now has to finalise negotiations with the facilities operator and it’s investors.
